Obviously, Jennifer Lopez is tired of family problems and decided to prove Marc Anthony she’s much more than just mother and housewife by launching a new fragrance, “Sunkissed Glow”.

You’ll also smell ember, musk and cashmerewood scents from the bottle. So, it seems to be something amazing. Full story

I’ve just read that Escada created a new seasonal floral fruity fragrance for women. It’s called Ocean Lounge and, judging by the bottle, it should be similar to my favorite Moon Sparkle by Escada. I’ve been using it this summer and the first part of September - even today. And I’m enjoying it right now. It smells great, as already said, I recommend this scent! I’ve found on many sites that Ocean Lounge “evokes the spirit of summer” – and I hope, it really does, as its “elder brother” Moon Sparkle does create a truly summer mood. Ocean Lounge is a composition of fruity and floral scents. Full story

I’ve recently discovered a new fragrance, which smells just perfect – it’s called Moon Sparkle, produced by Escada. I’ve never used Escada fragrances before, but my first experience is very pleasant. As soon as you spray it, the air becomes saturated with real summer notes. Moon Sparkle has everything: sweet fruits, a bit of sourness, delicate flowers. It’s not for someone serious, it’s more light-minded, fresh, romantic, sensual. It smells like magic, sexuality. By the way, men like it too. It smells like summer. My summer 2008 has started with this sophisticated fragrance. Full story

Eclat D’Arpege by Lanvin – did you smell it? This is a sophisticated fruity scent. I have tried lots of perfumes. But I always came back to this one, which has been my favorite for about three years. I told you in some of the recent posts about the new fragrance DKNY Delicious Shine, which I like very much and enjoy. If you want to compare these two fragrances, they are very different. DKNY Delicious Shine, this concentrated apple is flirty and frivolous. Eclat D’Arpege is more serious, more saturated with aroma, this fragrance means femininity itself. Is it sexy? Undoubtedly yes. Is it liked by men? Of course, it turns them on, indeed. Full story

I’ve recently written about Armani Acqua di Gio fragrance, which I bought for my love. Together with the spray the shop assistant gave me a tester of “Aigner Man 2” fragrance.

You must have already heard of Armani Acqua di Gio Fragrance for men. It’s not new, even considered by many as classic, but I think, it’s worth telling about. I’ve known about its existence and its cool aroma for a very long time. But I’ve no idea, why I didn’t buy it earlier. It was one of my gifts for my love on this Valentine’s Day. I must say, he liked it as much as I do. The fragrance is so sexy, so saturated. Pure masculinity! This is exactly how my man should smell. Full story

Saying “smells nice” about this fragrance is saying nothing. This aroma has a man in it. A modern perfume could be a perfect gift idea for him. This fragrance is created for someone serious, mature and firm. It would be bizarre to waft from a teenager, because it emphasizes the real masculine essence. A novel hero, who is reliable, who surprises with the contrast of romanticism and earnestness – this is what comes to your mind, when you inhale the aroma of Solo Loewe. It makes you thoughtful, calms. Full story
